[QUOTE="Tantavalist, post: 8224400, member: 7030056"] I read quite a lot of Cyberpunk novels when I was younger- a good chunk of what the Cyberpunk 2020 rulebook listed as inspiration. I don't recall any of them showing a direct causal link between getting implants and becoming less human. While the CP2020 rulebook explicitly stated that it was getting the implants that made you lose Humanity, not the things you had to do to get them. There's a genre that Cyberpunk tries to emulate but the Humanity rules actually make it worse at doing that rather than better. What should probably have been done is a system for putting the Cyberware outside of what PCs can typically afford and then requiring them to play out those Devil's Bargains to get them. But enough about Humanity (which I recall being divisive even back in the 90s). Focus on the positives. Are there any changes to the game in CP Red that stand out as improvements over CP 2020?
